Reclaiming His Ex-wife; At all costs! FIFTY SIX
ASHLEY'S P.O.VThe first thing I'd do once I leave here, is murder.Yes. I, Ashley, was going to murder the woman who brought me into this world, I'd stab a knife right into her gut. I've never been one to have murderous or crazy thoughts, but I guess two days of being held in the Harrington's manor against my will with my phone confiscated can change me into someone elseAnd this someone, wanted to throttle Genevieve so bad, I couldn't keep still. I paced back and forth in my room, I've only had access to the east wing of the manor, and so far, not been able to reach any cell phone that I could use to call for help.Genevieve told me she was doing this for ‘my good’ that I would grow up and ‘understand she meant no harm’Understand my ass.Every now and then, I try to steady my racing heart for the sake of my daughter. I'm due in about two months, and I don't want to harm my baby girl in any way, but it's hard not to be anxious.I'm not just outraged that she would lock me up when I'

KELLAN'S P.O VI left the windows open tonight. The cool early evening air creased the curtains and filled my lungs. I had left the office early today to come back home. Deeds were done, contracts were signed so there was no need to stay behind. I was welcomed by the cold silence of my house, the pictures of Ashley everywhere, and the dull but constant ache in my chest.The evening passed by as I went through my new rigid routine. First, the shower where I stood under the cold water, then dinner, which I made myself or ordered, a shot of whiskey or bourbon, and I'll call it a night.The curtains billowed when I stepped out from the shower, I rubbed a hand across my face and exhaled, ready to get on with dinner and drinking or drinking and dinner, or just drinking, when my phone buzzed with an incoming call.Martin's name flashed on the screen making my brows furrow. He never called without reason but recently, our relationship had shifted from Boss and employee to having some sort o

ASHLEY'S P.O.VThe Harringtons' garden used to be a place of comfort; now it was a place for planning, strategizing, and preparing to bring two narcissistic, egotistic people down.As a teenager, I'd sneak out of my room at night to bathe in the moonlight, listen to the soothing sound of the wind and crickets. I loved it when the soil shifted beneath my feet, when the moon was milky and the flowers blooming.The garden used to be my place of escape, maybe that's why I've been having my meetings with Dominic here.Genevieve and Leonard are eager for the wedding to commence as soon as possible so they can be together as ‘In-laws’ and keep their power games longer. It disgusts me how elated Genevieve is whenever she sees me with Dominic.So far, the young Beau and I have been putting up a facade. We pretend to spend time in each other's company, get along, and discuss how the marriage will benefit us. Genevieve and his father think we're getting more acquainted and have already hired a w

KELLAN P.O.VToday hit me harder than usual. Maybe it's because my employees were giving me the side eyes ever since I haven't been able to concentrate properly and keep Lockra's growth going, or maybe it's because the Ashley-shaped hole in my heart throbs hard today.Unbearably torturous.Because today makes it five months since she left me. Five months of not truly living, but rather... existing. Five months of trying to ‘move on’ but realizing that my whole life is a circle, and no matter how hard I run, how frequently I buried myself in work, I'd always come back to the same place, and without Ashley, that place was not just empty. It was hell.Agonizing, biting, and enough to make a grown man crumble. I’ve broken glass in my own home, downed whiskey like it might burn the pain inside me, I've expanded Lockra, bought more properties than I needed to fill the depthless void that was birthed the day Ashley left with July.It's been five months and I'm already accepting the fact tha

ASHLEY'S P.O.V“I think I need to sit down” I mumbled breathlessly.My legs felt like shaky twigs; if it was due to the baby in my stomach or the shock from Dominic's age, I couldn't tell. I planted a hand on the chair as I gently settled down.A relieved exhale left me and the pressure on my bladder loosened “Much better” Dominic, however, was still standing, his cheeks were red, and he fumbled with his fingers. “Are you okay? Is it the baby?” I opened my mouth to speak, but my daughter chose to kick me hard in that moment. My eyes squinted as I let out a small wince. “I'm fine.”Dominic was instantly at my side, his hand hovered near my elbow in uncertainty, then dropped and hovered again as if he couldn't decide if he should touch me. “I don't think you're fine.” His voice was laced with panic. “Should I call for help? Do you need water? Are you in labour, you don't look far gone”Despite myself and the situation, I chuckled lightly. Dominic reminded me of my friend Sydney who wa

ASHLEY'S P.O.VIf I were to be honest, and I mean brutally honest, my father's life wasn't worth the hassleIt's not that I hate my father but I wouldn't say I loved him either. Pete was just a shadow in my life, always there but present. He was better than Genevieve, though, giving that he was the parent who attended all my school functions and recitals— albeit reluctantly.So why am I doing this? Letting Genevieve use me because of my ‘father's safety’? Maybe it's guilt, perhaps a part of me cares more than I'm ready to admit, or perhaps I just don't want to lose both parents because, as far as I'm concerned, Genevieve Cece Harrington is dead to me.The moment she threatened me in front of Leonard Beau was the moment my illusion of her cracked and shattered into pieces.I had been trying to paint a saint out of a demon. Genevieve doesn't care about me; she doesn't care about my daughter. All she wants is power and control.So she lied about her cancer, lied about my father's whereab
